Our mission

We are at the beginning of the age of Government Technology (“GovTech”). New technologies are rapidly transforming government and public administration. The extent of this transformation will be more profound than any previous phase of administrative transformation. It is the shared responsibility of government and the tech sector to harness the potential of these new digital technologies to address the major challenges of our time and make our government technologically fit. 

Our guiding principle:

We believe in the transformative power of new technologies for modernizing government, public administration, and society. To this end, we facilitate the application and scaling of digital technologies and solutions by government and public administration, foster the development of strong partnerships between government and the tech sector, and are committed to the safe use of technology.

About Us

GovTech Germany is a joint initiative of the German Federal Government, the federal states, and the tech community. Since its founding in 2022, GovTech Germany has been making digital innovations and technologies accessible, scalable, and applicable for government and public administration.

As the world's first organization of its kind, we are building a comprehensive development, testing, and scaling environment in Germany for digital solutions and other technologies for the federal, state, and local governments, as well as for other areas within the public sector, such as healthcare and national security.

Our innovation ecosystem includes over 150 renowned organizations and institutions from the (tech) industry, public administration, research, and civil society as supporting members, in addition to the federal and state governments. GovTech Germany develops and implements concrete, scalable, and marketable innovation and technology projects between the tech community and the public sector, pilots their application, develops models for reuse, builds one of the world's leading GovTech ecosystems, and empowers government and public administration with technology.

The need for technological support in public administration at the federal, state, and local levels is high and continues to grow.

Together with our GovTech ecosystem, we contribute our expertise to address the challenges facing the public sector with cutting-edge tech solutions. To this end, we analyze the problem, validate potential solution technologies, and, together with our ecosystem, develop a solution that can also be reused by other stakeholders.
